Hi Marius, the problem is that I would like to modify breadcrumb on whole site not only in forked templates.
I see you have modify breadcrumb functions with different names in the last update. But please, can you create an only file with all breadcrumb functions in next version ? This will make the work easy for developpers to make modifications in future.
As developers we’re having some problems when making changes to the template code. It would be of inestimable help that you had us in mind 🙂
Thanks.
Hi,
@Ljubisa B. Do you have the latest theme version?
We solved this issues in recent updates, the problem was from SEO by Yoast latest version.
Thanks for your message
Hi,
Thank you for this suggestion we will take a look.
Thanks
A hint and a wish for the next update if someone is using the disqus comment system:
In \themes\Newspaper\includes\wp_booster\td_module.php at line 141 you have to channge
this
//$buffy .= '<a href="' . get_comments_link($this->post->ID) . '">';
$buffy .= '<span class="td-sp td-sp-ico-comments td-fake-click" data-fake-click="' . get_comments_link($this->post->ID) . '"></span>';
$buffy .= get_comments_number($this->post->ID);
//$buffy .= '</a>';
to this
$buffy .= '<a href="#disqus_thread">';
$buffy .= '<span class="td-sp td-sp-ico-comments td-fake-click" data-fake-click="' . get_comments_link($this->post->ID) . '"></span>';
$buffy .= get_comments_number($this->post->ID);
$buffy .= '</a>';
Now the comment anchor goes right to the disqus comment form.
P.S. Unfortunely the file “td_module.php” can’t modified for a child theme (why not?), so if the theme is updated, you have to check if corresponding file was changed…
Hi
I am using all in one SEO pack with social meta enabled. What i do is in the social meta part of the post, i put a custom thumbnail for videos so it has a play button on them. So with your update, it basically shows two meta images. So if you add a setting to turn your one off it would work great. What would be SUPER cool is if video posts added a play button overlaid on the featured image when it is shared.
Thanks
hi,
I didn’t manage to include this in the last update.
Sorry about this… this issue is still on my todo.

Good afternoon. We are running 2 different sites with Newspaper and in one site, the number of post views gets updated, but in the other site it remains to zero, when we actually know that there have been post views.
Could you tell us what could be the cause of this issue?
Thanks so much.
Hi,
Try to update the permalinks, go to Settings – Permalinks and just hit the save button.
Disable all plugins and see if the issue is still there.
And please update the theme, we fixed some of the sharing issues in the latest versions.

When a user is logged in, his username has a link to “#”.
Are you planning more feautures to this in an update like link tp profile, so a user is able to edit his password/email or integrate the login with soicalauth facebook/twitter etc. ?
Is not fixed in the last updated
I edited all posts manually to remove the featured video. Also i am now using an old version of your theme. Yes i am using custom plugin for OG images so it can show video play button on thumbnail.
Don’t worry about it Radu, the theme is getting plenty of updates. It doesn’t matter if such a small problem takes a while to get fixed.
Looking forward to see the theme get better and better 🙂
Hi Lucian,
Unfortunately I have seen no drop. The site is currently on 85% + when it had dropped from 5% to 0.25% after changing to this theme but then one month later it jumped overnight.
Can you tell me if the google code is displaying correctly in the header of each page? The only other thing could be a change from the latest google update but then everyone would be noticing a big change?
Regards
Peter
The demo is 98/100 user experience and 99/100 speed on mobile
and 99/100 speed on desktop as of 1:22pm PDT June 18, 2014, today.
Not sure how that is considered “going down.”
You will need to address the issues from Google Pagespeed Insights for YOUR site/server setup to get the best score. Using GTMetrix for scoring is sometimes more useful to showing the things needing fixed with better tools for doing so.
Sharing a link to your score info would likely be more useful?
I’m not on support staff, just visiting to check on the latest update stuff before I to and upgrade to our sites. 🙂
Ok, but if you take a look at the picture http://i.imgur.com/blf4XzG.png
one without / and the other one with / .. 404 soft error is like duplicate content or something like that. I uninstall the theme and upload the newest update of Newspaper but still getting this problem
livingsmarttv,
Yes it is possible to not crop and only scale images. It gets a bit tricky with this theme though because it is set to crop every image(except the featured.)
In the functions.php file, you will find somewhere around line 320:
//featured image
$td_crop_features_image = td_util::get_option('tds_' . 'crop_features_image');
if ($td_crop_features_image == '') {
add_image_size('featured-image', 700, 0, true);
} else {
add_image_size('featured-image', 700, 357, true);
}
//the small thumbnails
set_post_thumbnail_size( 100, 65, true );
add_image_size('art-thumb', 100, 65, true);
//small height, 1 col wide
add_image_size('art-wide', 326, 159, true);
//medium height 1 col wide
add_image_size('art-big-1col', 326, 235, true);
//the slides
add_image_size('art-slide-small', 326, 406, true);
add_image_size('art-slide-med', 700, 357, true);
add_image_size('art-slide-big', 1074, 483, true);
//big slider - big image
add_image_size('art-slidebig-main', 745, 483, true);
//the gallery
add_image_size('art-gal', 210, 210, true);
Notice that TagDiv has built in the ability to turn cropping on or off on the featured image based on a setting in the theme panel, but you are asking for all of them.
add_image_size('featured-image', 700, 0, true);
In the line above, it is the ‘0’ argument that tells wordpress to adjust the height based on the aspect ratio of the image after it is scaled. To analyze the code a little more, what is happening with the ‘featured-image’ image size is that if them theme is not set to crop option then the ‘featured-image’ will be scaled to 700px wide and left to be however tall the image is. If you select the crop option, it will be scaled to 700px wide and then cropped to 357px tall.
You would need to look at which block(s) you are using and then determine which module the block is using to tell what image size it is. For example, let’s say your block uses td_module_2.php.
In that file, line 13 reads: <?php echo $this->get_image('art-big-1col'); ?>
If we look above at the functions.php entry, we see: add_image_size('art-big-1col', 326, 235, true); This means that if you upload a 1280×720 image, this will resize it’s width and crop it’s height to 235 pixels. If the scaled down image height is less than 235px tall, then it will scale the height to 235px and crop the width to 326px. This is not what you want. Rather, perhaps something like this: add_image_size('art-big-1col', 326, 0, false); This will take the image and scale to 326px wide and let the height be what it will be.
If you want make these changes so that updates to the theme will not break it, then you need to copy the image size declarations out of the theme’s functions.php file and put them in your child theme’s functions.php file and change the options. You might try something like this:
//featured image
$td_crop_features_image = td_util::get_option('tds_' . 'crop_features_image');
if ($td_crop_features_image == '') {
add_image_size('featured-image', 700, 0, false);
} else {
add_image_size('featured-image', 700, 357, false
}
//the small thumbnails
set_post_thumbnail_size( 100, 0, false );
add_image_size('art-thumb', 100, 0, false);
//small height, 1 col wide
add_image_size('art-wide', 326, 0, false);
//medium height 1 col wide
add_image_size('art-big-1col', 326, 0, false);
//the slides
add_image_size('art-slide-small', 326, 0, false);
add_image_size('art-slide-med', 700, 0, false);
add_image_size('art-slide-big', 1074, 0, false);
//big slider - big image
add_image_size('art-slidebig-main', 745, 0, false);
//the gallery
add_image_size('art-gal', 210, 0, false);
By setting all the height arguments to 0, we tell WordPress to always use the full height of an image relative to the horizontal scaling and by changing ‘true’ to ‘false’ we enable ‘soft crop mode’ vs ‘hard crop mode.’ Soft crop mode ensures your images will maintain their aspect and not have any cropping. Note, the 0 setting will make it so that any image uploaded that is not 16×9 aspect will be scaled and output at it’s own aspect ratio. This can break styling, but if you only upload 16×9 images it will be fine.
You would need to either re-build your current thumbnails or upload some new images to see if this fixes your problem(or creates others)
There are lots of gotchas here, and I certainly didn’t give you a definitive answer, but perhaps what I did say will help you figure out what combination of options will solve your problem.
Good luck!
Hi,
We will update VC in the next theme update.
Thanks
These are ur best settings that will work great for the theme..
1. Cache hits to this website for quick access. (Recommended)
2. Use PHP to serve cache files.(Recommended)
3. Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)
4. Make known users anonymous so they’re served supercached static files.(Recommended)
5. Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated. (Recommended)
6. Clear all cache files when a post or page is published or updated.(Recommended)
7. Extra homepage checks. (Very occasionally stops homepage caching) (Recommended)
Expiry Time & Garbage Collection
I have mine set on 60sec for the “Cache Timeout” and 90sec for the Timer and the interval i have set to Once Hourly.
set that up so it clear out all ur stale files
and save ur settings and ur good to go
Hi,
I’m sorry that you encountered so many problems with our latest updates. We changed the video setting after a lot of people requested that.
If you did not solve the video issue (by editing the posts) I can fix that for you or I can send you an older version of the theme.
Regarding OG images, please give me more details: are you using a custom plugin for og images? if so delete this: http://screencast.com/t/N7VGkxYAR
we will include an option to disable this from the theme panel.
Please with each update… try to backup your current working theme so you can return to the old working version until we fix any issues. We do our best to test everything but sometimes due to incompatibilities with other plugins or even when we fix something there may be issues.
Radu O.
Hi,
Thank you for this suggestion, this is a great idea we will try to implement this feature in future updates.
Thank you
Hi Lucian,
Thank you its working now. Such a small edit to?
Regards
Peter
The updates are just getting worse. You changed it so when a featured video shows it now shows in a post, thanks for making me have to edit over nearly 100 posts to remove the duplicate videos. Now you have messed with OG Data. Before this last update, my custom OG images were fine, now after the update they display with errors and cannot be debugged. I have a huge high traffic site that serves over 200k people per day, I need this resolved ASAP
Hi,
The search box of my website is unformatted as you can see in the screenshots. The theme is updated.
